Hello,
Pheochromocytoma is a possibility, in view of fluctuating BP and other somatic symptoms.
Alternatively, you may be having paroxysmal hypertension without obvious provocative factors & repressed emotional trauma causing condition called pseudopheochromocytoma.
You may go for plasma levels of free metanephrines as initial test. Thyroid function test (Free T3, Free T4 & TSH) also won't be out of place.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
